Question

Select the correct answer. during the 1970s, which piece of legislation did the national organization for women actively promote, though it was never ratified? a. the clean air act b. the voting rights act c. the civil rights act d. the equal rights amendment

Answer 1

In the 1970s, the Equal Rights Amendment was submitted by Congress to the states for ratification. The Equal Rights Amendment would have guaranteed equal rights for women.

Three years after the ratification of the 19th amendment, the Equal Rights Amendment (ERA) was initially proposed in Congress in 1923 in an effort to secure full equality for women. It seeks to end the legal distinctions between men and women in terms of divorce, property, employment, and other matters.

On March 22, 1972, the ERA was placed before the state legislatures, with a seven-year deadline to acquire ratification by three-fourths (38) of the state legislatures.
